LabVIEW 2021 Beta program

[Jacemdom]

Cannot find how to apply to the LabVIEW 2021 Beta program.

There are no products listed there https://www.ni.com/support/beta-program/

Is the program started? How do I apply?

The NI beta program is now closed as they've now released the LabVIEW 2020 Community Edition (CE) to the general public.

LabVIEW Community Edition (NI has strictly stated we should not call it "CE") is a full release.  It is nowhere close to a beta nor a replacement for a beta.  That said, I still have not heard anything on the upcoming beta.  I will have to see if I can get a hold of somebody about this.

The LabVIEW 2021 Beta is now available for download. https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-2021-Public-Beta/LabVIEW-2021-Beta-Now-Available/td-p/4144143

Did they give a reason?  I'm betting has something to do with "Microsoft CE" being a thing, and they don't want to even remotely draw any negative attention from Microshaft.

That was one of the main reasons.

Any word if Silverlight is being replaced in 2021? (sorry don't intend to thread hijack, but I don't know if I'll be able to participate in the Beta this year)

[crossrulz]

Jordan, the Beta is public.  This means you can still participate in the beta forum.  That would be the place to ask.

I am thrilled already 🙂
